Yeah, 20th anniversary, more stages, more bands, it's massive, it's amazing... but what's the point?

Just to be able to say that it's the biggest Metal festival in the world?

I love Hellfest, but I feel like it's getting very much like a dick-measuring contest. As it is now there are already an insane amount of bands, and it's often painful having to choose between bands clashing at the same time. Yeah, it's great having a choice, but we only have a limited amount of hours in a day, is it really all that great having 300 bands when you can really see the same number of bands in that limited amount of time?

I don't know, I got excited when they first announced it, but the more I think about it the more I feel it's really pointless. A two weekender like in 2022 would have been much better, allowing people to actually attend more shows. Now when I'll go to a show insted of missing other 2, I'll miss other 4, hooray!

As the title says, has anyone tried replacing the Varmblixt's LED to make the lamp brighter?

I'd like to use it as the main light in a room, but by default it's way too dim. I've seen some discussions here and there about hacking the Varmblixt, but I don't seem to have found anyone doing it this way, so I wonder if anyone actually already tried to make it brighter and would love to hear their experience.
